Some Interesting Testimony to show
Her Mental Condition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE old circuit
court room in the City Hall was besieged
with well dressed crowd early to-day to
listen to the proceedings in Mrs. Emmons'
sanity case. Mrs. DeCormis was again on
the stand She testified about strange actions
on the part of Mrs. Emmons aboard ship
while going to Europe. She told of cigar
cite smoke between Mrs. Emmons and nine
strange gentlemen, the same cigarette being
used by all. At this the spectators laughed
and Mrs. Emmons said in low tone to her
counsel: t'That's lie." From this time
forward most of her testimony was racy.
Mrs. DeCornlis stated that she had had no
difficulty with Mrs. Emmons on board the
steamer. She was then asked if she did not
put Mrs. Emmons out of her stateroom on
one occasion, and admitted it. She was asked
to tell about it and after being told she must
said she asked Mrs. Emmons the night prior
to their arrival when Mrs. Emmons was in
her stateroom if n she really in
tended to accompany her Mrs.
DeCormis) and on Mrs. Emmons
replying in the affirmative Mrs. DeCormis
told her that in future it would be wiser not
to confide in her maids or companions. tsShe
asked me why" continued the witness, "and
I told her that the maid she had left behind
had said she did not care to go to Europe be-
cause she preferred to remain behind and be
Professor Emmons' mistress. She asked if
did not intend leading life of shame in
London. retorted that did not and never
had and asked her If she could say as
much. She sprang at me and boxed my ears.
I ordered her out of the room and she said it
was her stateroom as she paid for it.
attempted to put her out
and she planted her back to
the door, Mrs. Emmons is strong woman
and we were about evenly matched. I had a
hard time, but finally got her about the
waist and lifting her from the floor laid her
out in the hall and closed the door. During
Mrs. De Gormis' testimony Mrs. Emmons fire.
quently interrupted, expressing her opinion
of each statement. Once she calculated:
"Vile insinuations," which caused her law
yers to say: do be quiet"
DR.. Kempster, of New York, then testified
concerning Mrs. Emmons' mental condition.
DR.. Kempster testified that he first saw Mrs.
Emmons in company with DR.. H. Marion
Sims. At that time she was incoherent. He
visited her again the next day and saw her in
the library. In the corner was a Christmas
tree. Hanging thereon were number of
queer things, one being broken thermom-
eter. Mrs. Emmons stated that it represent
ed disjointed affections. At this testimony
everyone laughed, Mrs. Emmons joining in
and saying, "Disjointed iddlesticks." DR..
Kempster told of other illusions and weak
nesses of the lady. The inquiry goes on to-
morrow

1T Is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
Saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy

and enriehing the vital fluid.

Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.

tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. I
